A D.M.C Library album of needle-made lace edited by Th. de Dillmont, first series. It opens with an introduction on the history of needle lace and a short treatise on tracing patterns, lace stitches, bars and picots, then gives 15 plates of photographed models: Reticella squares and round motifs, imitation Reticella made with braids, Venetian point laces, and small articles trimmed with lace. Thread-size tables list the D.M.C threads to use for each plate, and white-on-black tracing patterns at the back can be detached for working. It ends with D.M.C product and publication advertisements.
